Hardik Pandya stole the limelight on his ODI debut with the new ball in hand today and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni backs the all-rounder to be one of his premier fast bowlers for next year's Champions Trophy in England. India will just feature in eight ODIs before the Champions Trophy and Dhoni expressed his desire to test Pandya, who returned with figures of 3/31 in the first ODI against New Zealand, in varied conditions and situations. "Our thinking was to use him as one of the three seamers and to give him a chance to exploit the new ball. The reason being we all felt he is quite deceptive. He can bowl quick. He has got movement and can swing the ball even on wickets where some other bowlers don't get that kind of swing. He is somebody who can get some purchase of the wicket," Dhoni said.
